Tallavera

What Tallavera does

Tallavera is a US-based healthcare staffing company that connects medical facilities with skilled clinical and allied health professionals across temporary, contract, travel, locum tenens, and permanent engagement models. The company serves ten healthcare verticals — including hospitals and clinics, long-term care, home health, ambulatory care, assisted living, schools, allied health, correctional/government, community health, and private practices — operating nationally across the continental United States and several US territories, with offices in Rochester (headquarters) and Buffalo, New York. The firm was launched in 2017 as a dedicated medical staffing division under parent Aboldco, Inc. (which also operates the general-staffing brand Career Start), and is a woman-owned business led by founder and CEO Lindsay McCutchen.

The company's core technology asset is WAE (Work Available Everywhere), a proprietary all-in-one Vendor Management System and workforce management platform that incorporates AI-driven candidate matching, automated scheduling, time tracking, compliance management, job posting, and performance monitoring. WAE is offered both as an internal tool powering Tallavera's own placements and as a VMS product for healthcare facilities, with a companion mobile app and self-serve job board extending the candidate experience. Operational infrastructure is supported by third-party partnerships with Prism HR (HR/payroll), Experian Employment Services (credentialing and verification), and ZenDesk (support ticketing).

Tallavera generates revenue through a diversified mix: markup/transaction fees on fulfilled temporary and permanent placements; managed-service-provider (MSP) contracts for end-to-end workforce management; VMS/WAE platform subscriptions; payroll and HR service fees; direct-hire placement fees; and professional services for healthcare staffing consulting and onsite hiring events. Go-to-market is sales-led with consultative direct sales to healthcare facilities, supplemented by white-label/channel partnerships, onsite hiring events, and self-serve candidate acquisition through the WAE app and job board. The company maintains a vetted talent pool of more than 3,000 medical professionals and has earned multiple workplace and growth recognitions including Inc. 5000 (2022), Rochester Top 100 (2022 and 2024), Great Place to Work certification (2023), and Best Companies to Work For in New York State (2023, #18 in 2024).
